Now, where to hide the bodies...

First, welcome to anyone who is here for IComLeavWe :-) Thanks for visiting!

What is it about bleeding profusely that sends some women (myself included) into a mild psychotic episode? I didn't just wake up on the wrong side of the bed, I woke up in the wrong bed - apparently Satan's bed. Poor, poor M... sometimes I wonder if he feels like he married Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde.

Fortunately, I calmed down around noon and now I'm just a bit whiny whenever my uterus becomes particularly achy. I'm also craving greasy protein. I want a philly cheesesteak or one of those burgers with a fried egg on top! ::drool:: Normally that kind of food would make me feel nauseated just thinking of it. I can't get back on birth control soon enough. Suppress these crazy hormones!!

I was so busy this past week at work I didn't realize until today that my appointment with Dr. B is almost here! Hooray!! Discussion, answers, planning! The stuff on which I thrive. I warned M that I am going to cry during the consult. Its not if, its when. It doesn't matter what Dr. B says, I have an inability to hold it together when talking to doctors about my infertility. That's not to say I'm not thrilled to be talking to a specialist...I guess its just a part of my human frailty.

Let's review what we've learned today: 1.) I can be a psycho bitch when AF is in town, 2.) Someone needs to take my husband into protective custody when that happens, 3.) I regularly hold two discordant emotions in me at the same time. I'm just a treasure of a person, aren't I? ::facepalm::

Just stopping by from ICLW! Love your blog and can totally relate since I, too, have the dreaded PCOS. Good luck at your upcoming consult and don't be afraid to let it all out. They all "get it" and are also some of the best therapists in disguise! Keep us updated on how it goes!

Haha yay, I also do #3 all the time... I joke that when someone asks me how I feel about something I usually respond first with "Well I feel conflicted about that" HAHA. Because I basically always feel conflicting emotions at the same time. Yay.

So glad your appointment is almost here! Whether I'm in stirrups or sitting at her desk for a consult, and I'm trying to say something but it gets to be too much, I just wave my hands in front of my face and say "just ignore the tears, just ignore the tears" and go on with what I'm trying to say. My RE now gets it. It's this great communication tool we have between us. Don't be afraid to cry. This stuff we're going through, is scary.

Oh always. I hate not being able to keep my emotions in check- so it's embarrassing for me when I spontaneously bust into tears. Luckily, my RE and I have known each other long enough that it's not weird anymore. I'm not sure if that is good or bad ;)

I love your blog! I'm so sorry about the bleeding and moodiness. Hormones will do crazy stuff to you. I think you mentioned a few posts back that taking progesterone (Prometrium?) makes you aggressive--ME, TOO. I've taken it the past week and have been having major problems with my temper.

Aww, thanks for visiting! You remind me a lot of my sister. You have Baby Dog and she has Cat Kingdom (3 rescued cats). I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who becomes possessed when taking prometrium, LOL. Here's hoping we both survive it!
